It looks like a live action Corpse Bride.

I’ve got no real interest in the time period or the story, but Burton + Depp = chances are it will be worth seeing.

I….. am completely sold. I will have worries up to the release date that Burton will continue to unsatisfy me, but I am absolutely 100% seeing this the first change I can get. Rickman and Cohen? FUCK YES. A musical suits Depp’s hamminess well for me too. I sneer still at Bonham Carter (not a fan) but again, hopes are high.

At the risk of sounding hypocritical, I’m pretty excited about this.

This looks absolutely amazing! I haven’t been excited about a Tim Burton movie since forever, but it looks like he’s back to the tongue-in-cheek horror that he did so awesome in Sleepy Hollow and Batman 1&2.

I’m not sure I care about the singing much… Wasn’t alot of it in the trailer, so that worries me that it might be bad. I don’t think so though, this is a popular musical right? I’m sure a musical only gets made if it has good songs etc. I hated Chicago but it had catchy tunes, and this looks like it’s interesting beyond the music.

Hopefully this will have the same amount of violence Hollow had. Getting Alan Rickman in there is totally icing on the cake too.

I am totally looking forward to Sweeney Todd now. Depp breaking out into song doesn’t bother me at all. Burton is great at doing the musicals parts of his movies. It’s actually one of his trademarks that I enjoy, like when The Joker makes his entrance in the museum in Batman or Pee-Wee dancing in the bar. I love it.
